HC Deb 17 June 1964 vol 696 cc189-90W
Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps are being taken to ensure that the proposed increased labour force at Rosyth Dockyard receive suitable housing.

Mr. Hay

The Dunfermline Town Council has so far undertaken to make 110 houses available for our employees at Rosyth. This number is insufficient to meet our total needs, but we are consulting a number of local authorities in the area to see how these can best be met. I am also in touch with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
